Freedom Fighters | VPRO Documentary

The Ukraine war has entered its second year. VPRO Backlight gauges the mood in border country Estonia because, according to Ukrainian President Zelensky, they will be next. What is the war doing to the Baltic States? Of course, this war is about more than Ukrainian territory: it is an attack on the democratic freedom we Western Europeans take for granted. Thus the Ukrainians and the Baltic States are fighting not only on Ukrainian territory, but on the front lines of the struggle between autocracy and democracy. Their fighting spirit offers food for thought. What if the war soon comes knocking at our borders as well? Are we also prepared to fight for our values and ideals?
